A lot of security writing sounds finished and is not. Confident tone is not a source. This desk treats the opposite as the job.
When a claim matters:
- Is it true, or does it just scan as true?
- Can a reader open the same page and see the same number?
- Are we showing the reasoning, or only the punchline?
Uncertainty gets said out loud. Corrections beat saving face. The sources block is not decoration — if the draft cannot grow one, it does not ship.
Steal that rule if you steal nothing else.
